Plugin Question
by Paul Cuzner 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hi, I have a REST API that's running on localhost (flask app) that I'd like to access with a cockpit plugin. I've done a few initial tests but I'm finding it difficult to navigate the CORS and Content-Security-Policy - so before I invest any more time in this, I thought I'd ask the dumb question first. Is this goal achievable? Can a cockpit plugin access a REST API running on the same host - if so, could someone provide some guidance, or point me at some docs? I'm testing on Fedora, but the longer term goal is to use RHEL. Any help appreciated! Paul C

Cockpit :heart: Foreman
by Marius Vollmer 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Hi, here is a little update regarding Foreman and Cockpit integration: https://youtu.be/mGJB64jxsL0 [ The video shows a new "Cockpit" button in Foreman that opens Cockpit on a host without having to log into Cockpit. ] No changes to Cockpit were necessary for this integration, thanks to the great work Peter has done earlier for a similar integration of Cockpit into ManageIQ. My current hackish changes to Foreman are here: https://github.com/mvollmer/foreman/tree/seamless-cockpit As you can see, there is a lot of cheating going on. My next steps will be to reduce the cheating and then look into how to involve the smart proxy in this. Until then!

Dropping cockpit-kubernetes (Cluster, Image Registry, KubeVirt UI) in the future
by Martin Pitt 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Hello all, Cockpit's "Kubernetes" package has provided a web UI for managing Kubernetes/OpenShift deployments for a long time. In the last year it also got some initial support for showing KubeVirt[1] VMs that run in OpenShift. Since Red Hat's acquiring of CoreOS there are now *three* web UIs: OpenShift's own "OpenShift Console", Tectonic, and Cockpit's "Cluster" dashboard. The first two are meant to become one at some point [2] and currently see a lot of development; i. e. Console/Tectonic/Quay will be *the* web UI for OpenShift (including KubeVirt) soon. On the other hand, cockpit-kubernetes has been in maintenance mode for a fair while now - both because of that merging effort, and also because we haven't had (and still don't have) any development capacity for it in the Cockpit team. It's also rather hard to maintain, being written in a very old Angular version. So long-term cockpit-kubernetes will go away. As a strawman I would propose to still keep it in Fedora 29 (as it's past beta freeze already), but drop it from Rawhide. Thus there will still be a supported cockpit-kubernetes package for ~ 1.5 more years. cockpit-kubernetes also contains some support for KubeVirt. Apparently community interest has waned on that, and we actually haven't been able to build a recent kubevirt-enabled OpenShift image in four months -- [3] were the last attempts at fixing it. Thus we had to kick out kubevirt testing from the openshift image [4], and we'll have to kick it off the openshift-prerelease image as well if we need to rebuild it at some point. Once this happens, there is no way how we can further support the KubeVirt bits in cockpit-kubernetes, so I'd actually like to remove this from Fedora 29 already, in its current condition. Is there any interest from anyone to continue to maintain it? If so, then the best course of action would be to split it off into a separate cockpit-kubernetes upstream project, like we recently did with cockpit-ostree [5], and maintain it there (by a different group of people than the Cockpit core team). Of course we will gladly help you to set this up. Thanks, Martin [1] http://kubevirt.io/ [2] https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-unveils-roadmap-core… [3] https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/9479 and https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/9638 [4] https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/commit/2795ceb8ee13 [5] https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-ostree

Cockpit hacking flashmob in Berlin: Sept 25 to 27
by Martin Pitt 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hello all, soon the All Systems Go conference will happen in Berlin again [1], and a few Cockpit hackers will be there (at least Stef, Lars, Sanne, and myself). On the days before that (Tue Sep 25 to Thu Sep 27) we wanted to do a little impromptu hackfest again in the Red Hat Berlin office [2]. So if you are working on a Cockpit related project and want to talk to us for some help, discussing architecture, setting up CI, fixing your favourite pet feature or bug, or just have a Falafel or whole-grain lemonade [3] with us, you are welcome to join! This is nothing formal, but please let us know in advance if/when you are going to come, for capacity planning. Thanks, and see you in Berlin soon!
